The sudden noise made Luo Ran startled. Immediately he realized what he had just done, his face suddenly turned red, and he stood up and walked out. As he walked, he said anxiously: "Why is Ning'er crying? I'll go take a look!"
When I came out, the cold wind blew, and I finally woke up a lot. I couldn't help but pat my face, and I was very annoyed: How could I be so fascinated by staring at a man's feet? How embarrassing!
Maybe mother and daughter are connected. As soon as Luo Ran came out, he heard the baby crying again in the east wing. The sound was loud but seemed to have the smell of grandma. When he heard such a loud voice, he knew it was Qing Ning.
Luo Ran quickly forgot the embarrassment just now, and still praised his daughter's thoughtfulness in his heart, and went to the east wing with his skirt in hand.
At this time, the atmosphere in the study outside the front yard was a bit solemn.
Luo Ruxue hid behind Luo Dewen.
Luo Deyun looked at Li Yuren, then looked at Luo Ruxue, and said expressionlessly: "Ruxue, if I ask you a question now, you must answer truthfully. If there is even a word of lies, you will not have to enter the Luo family's future door." !”
Luo Ruxue shook her body, grabbed Luo Dewen's sleeve harder, and called out softly: "Daddy..."
Luo Dewen also felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to plead for mercy. He saw Luo Dewen turn around and sit down. He opened his eyelids and glanced at their father and daughter.
With just this glance, Luo Dewen immediately woke up: this man was not only his brother, but also the Marquis. In the past, due to his eldest brother's absence from the house all year round and his mother's intentional favoritism, he almost thought that he was the champion in these years and never took him seriously.
Even if Dafang returned to Beijing for a year, he never thought it would affect him in any way, especially since he was about to be the in-law of Duke Jingguo, not to mention that someone had offered him an olive branch a few days ago.
Thinking of this, Luo Dewen was afraid but also a little confident. He pulled Luo Ruxue in front of him, deliberately glanced at Li Yuanliang and his son, and said: "Xue'er, don't be afraid, as long as you haven't done anything, your uncle will do it." I won’t accuse you wrongly!”
Luo Ruxue looked at the warning in her father's eyes, bit her lip and nodded.
In any case, she couldn't say that she was plotting against Luo Ran, otherwise she would really be unable to stand up.
Luo Ruxue's face was filled with tears, and she looked like she had been greatly wronged. She knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying: "Uncle, Xue'er doesn't dare to lie. Xue'er doesn't know what's going on. Early this morning, after my cousin came, he...stopped me in the garden and asked me to go find him during the banquet, otherwise, otherwise..."
Her pretty face turned red and she looked embarrassed.
Li Yuren frowned slightly. He was vaguely aware of the affair between his eldest brother and his cousin. He had also advised his eldest brother that if he really liked her, let his mother find someone to propose marriage. It would not look good on anyone if it was so unclear.
But every time he mentioned it, his eldest brother would sneer at it and laugh at him for making a fuss out of a molehill and being rigid.
He went to tell his mother that her mother also supported her eldest brother and stood on his side. She also exaggerated that he was capable and could sleep with women in the Marquis's mansion. She even dreamed that one day the Luo family would come to ask for marriage, so that she could use this to give her aunt face. And take the opportunity to reap some benefits.
Fortunately now, the woman has fallen asleep, and her lifeblood is gone.
But he knew that this matter could not be dismissed lightly just because of Luo Ruxue's vague words.
Li Yuren walked up to Luo Ruxue, looked at her condescendingly, and asked, "Does my cousin have any evidence for saying this?"
"What evidence?"
Luo Ruxue raised her head and was a little confused.
Li Yuren raised the corner of his mouth and said: "My cousin said it was the eldest brother who was looking for you, but what if I said that you deliberately seduced the eldest brother? Just because the eldest brother didn't want to get involved with you, so you felt resentful and found someone to harm the eldest brother! Isn't that right!"
Li Yuren's face was only half a foot away from Luo Ruxue, and a pair of small but vicious eyes stared at her.
Luo Ruxue seemed to be able to see her frightened self reflected in his eyes, and she retreated unconsciously and fell to the ground.
Luo Dewen wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Li Yuanliang: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, Yu Ren didn't do anything, he just asked a few words."
Luo Deyun raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuren. The seventeen-year-old boy was not tall or burly, but he looked much thinner. I don't like to talk much on weekdays. Every time I see him, he lowers his eyebrows and lowers his head, looking honest and courteous.
However, after spending half his life in the officialdom, Luo Deyun knew very well that biting dogs should not bark. He sneered and said unhurriedly: "My dear nephew, are you planning to use torture to extract a confession in front of me?" ?”
Li Yuren turned around and immediately changed his face as if he was a different person. He bent down and said respectfully: "Don't blame me, Mr. Hou. I am just worried about my elder brother's injury for a moment. I don't mean to offend my cousin."
"Well, I am a little envious of the deep brotherhood."
I don’t know if Luo Deyun did it intentionally or not, but he deliberately glanced at Luo Deyun when he said this.
But before Luo Dewen turned around, he had already looked away and said to Luo Ruxue, who was a little relieved: "Ruxue, what your second cousin just said doesn't make sense, so you tell me the situation at that time." Please tell me clearly how you, a weak woman, managed to hurt an adult man."
Luo Ruxue is actually a bit clever. She was shocked by Li Yuren just now, purely because of her guilty conscience and the first time she saw a strange face like Li Yuren.
When I heard my uncle say this, he obviously wanted to support me and immediately said: "Uncle, you have to believe Xue'er, Xue'er really didn't do anything! Wuwu..."
Covering the handkerchief and crying twice, he continued: "My eldest cousin said that if I don't listen to him and go find him, he will tell me in front of everyone who came to the house today that I have an affair with him! Xueer again I was really scared, so I thought about finding a place where no one was around to persuade my cousin. Who knows, I went to the backyard as promised by my eldest cousin and saw no one. Uncle, uncle, cousin, if I really want to harm my cousin, Brother, I don’t know how to go by myself. Also, I am a weak woman who usually dare not even step on an ant to death, so how dare I harm others!"
Li Yuren frowned.
A flash of disgust flashed in Luo Deyun's eyes, and he asked again: "Who will testify for you? Also, did you find anything wrong?"
After being reminded by him, Luo Ruxue immediately nodded: "Yes! Many women and maids saw me when I went to the garden! My uncle can confront them! Moreover, when I passed by the guest house, I did hear something inside There was a sound, but I thought it was a guest, so I didn’t dare to get close and hurried back to the table.”
Luo Deyun nodded and said to Li Yuanliang and his son: "You can ask the servants in the mansion about this matter. Ruxue did leave the table for a while and then went back, and her makeup was intact when she went back. If she really had a dispute with Yutang , it will definitely not be the case.”
Although Li Yuren didn't believe it, Luo Deyun made sense. As a woman like Luo Ruxue, even if she accidentally killed her eldest brother in an argument, there would still be no flaw in her clothes. Therefore, the murderer could only be someone else!
Or, be instigated by others!
Li Yuanliang said: "Even if Xue'er is not the murderer of Yutang, then who is the murderer?"
"Master Hou! Lord Jin Yiwei Changying wants to see you!"
Qingshan suddenly came in to report.
Everyone was surprised and didn't understand why Jin Yiwei's people got involved at this time.
Li Yuanliang and his son even had a bad feeling.
